http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38717 Summary: Application wide config chainsaw.xml overwritten when Tab Identifier = PROP.hostname Product: Log4j Version: 1.2 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: minor Priority: P4 Component: chainsaw AssignedTo: log4j-dev@logging.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] We use chainsaw to monitor various application across different servers, and to help organise this visually we set the "Application-wide Preferences" -> "Tab identifier" to "PROP.hostname". This allows us to arbitrarily group log messages onto the same tab. The problem here is that Chainsaw messages are then sent to a tab called "Chainsaw", which then creates the config files "Chainsaw.colors", "Chainsaw.properties" and "Chainsaw.xml". The last filename conflicts with the application wide config file of the same name. Depending on whether or not a user has applied layout changes to the "Chainsaw" tab, and on which file is written to last when closing chainsaw, the application wide file may or may not be overwritten with the Tab config file. To remedy this, we've set the "Tab identifier" to "PROP.hostname -", but it's kind of a messy solution. Would it not make more sense to name the global xml config file to something more specific ie; chainsaw.settings.xml to match the name of the properties file for instance? -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
